His bottom line feeling, save your money and buy the Sony's. The specific model is Sony MDR-EX51LP Fontopia Headphones (I ordered some on Amazon, but they haven't arrived yet).
Kind of weird quoting myself...

Anyhow... I got the Sony's two days ago and find them quite comfortable. Two of the three rubber plugs fit well. However the sound quality is clearly inferior to that heard in the Apple earphones which came with my Ipod Mini. Not enough bass response, no matter how much I adjust them in my ear.
